Rabbi Shraga Simmons is the co-founder of Aish.com, and co-author of "48 Ways to Wisdom" (ArtScroll). He is Founder and Director of Aish.com's advanced learning site. He is co-founder of HonestReporting.com, and author of "David & Goliath", the definitive account of anti-Israel media bias. Originally from Buffalo, New York, he holds a degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin, and rabbinic ordination from the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. He lives with his wife and children in the Modi'in region of Israel.

The major media networks are not interested in Jews as defenders; Jews as fighters; or Jews as lending a helping hand in time of disasters. Anything that sheds a positive light on Israel and its citizens is taboo. The media prefers to see Jews as victims and the more violent and bloodier the outcome the more they salivate.
It is for this that they always rush to Gaza; not because they love the Arabs but because there is blood and there is the opportunity to spin a story, even if it is a lie; even if it is at Israel's expense - morality and truth is irrelevant to them.

Why Are Jews Still Supporting BHO?

When will we get our head out of the sand and see the Progressive party for what it is? They are the same people who deny the holocaust. Who have card carrying Communists within their party making decisions for you. Yes they say this didn't happen, Over one million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust, as were approximately two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men. Wake UP!

For Jews, always an uphill battle

Human psychology being what it is, a negative accusation requires 10 times its weight in counter evidence. That's bad enough, but when the person hearing the accusation is already brainwashed against Jews and Israel, their mind shuts down after hearing the negative (or the lie). After all, how many people believed "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," versus how many people actually witnessed Jews baking matzoh with the blood of Gentile children? Hamas wouldn't put the lies out there if exposure threatened their credibility. But they know the lies will win over more people than not. Sickening.

Fauxtography and fauxtojournalism

Folks,
Hamas, Fatah, the PLO and other Arab groupings and governmental organisations are using a technique of media delegitimisation to win a war. By carefully stagging "fauxto" opportunities and getting people to play injured or use forged or staged Fauxtographs to demonise Israel and Israeli retalitory action against Arab and Moslem aggression, they intend to make Israel the bad guy in the world press.
Because the blogosphere rarely fact checks and tweeting is instantaneous - these lies get spread quickly and efficiently into the mainstream before any chance of dissembling their factual errors and omissions.
The Hamas and others strictly enforce press control and put pressure on reporters and cameramen to record staged videos as real events. Equally many press reports connive and collude to get pictures into the main agencies. How many times have we seen. Images cooped from one disaster to another, how often has the same girl been filmed being rushed into a clinic, how often has a strategically placed Koran or child's toy (clean and undamaged) been conveniently Fauxtographed amid wreckage and dust of a bomb scene, indeed there are many instances of Hamas rockets falling short and being blamed as Israeli attacks. All of this is a new propaganda reality. Hamas never misses an opportunity to spin falsehoods and lies into opportunties to castigate and kick Israel.

We lived the same situation in Honduras

After president Mel Zelaya was forced out of the Country in Honduras, CNN,NBC and many other Networks started making stories about thousands of people being incarcerated, murdered or detained. I was living in Honduras at that time and it was a shame to know how many american networks were presenting news that were not entirely true. I think that the same thing is happening in Israel. They always present the news to the American people" Israel attacking Gaza" they never say Israel responded to a previous attack from Gaza.

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING CNN FOR YEARS AND HAVE SEEN JOURNALISM BEING CHANGED TO PROPOGANDA. TAKE PIERCE MORGAN'S INTERVIEWS OF ISREALI DIPLOMATS. HIS QUESTIONS WERE THE SAME IN ALL INTRERVIEWS WITH A DEFINITE LEANING TO THE PALESTINIAN VIEW POINT ONLY! Not ONCE DID HE COMMENT ON THE ROCKETS FALLING INTO ISRAEL. I BELIEVE HE SHOULD STAY TO HIS NICHE OF INTERVIEWING ASSORTED ANIMALS AND NEWS THAT BELONGS MORE IN THE BRITISH TRASH PAPERS THAN CNN. THE REST OF THE SO CALLED NEWS TEAM IS SLANTED SO FAR TOWARDS PALESTINE THAT THEY MIGHT THINK OF SETTING UP SHOP IN THE GAZA STRIP. OH, BUT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE THE RICH LIFE STYLE THEY EARN FROM BEING COMMENTATORS AND NOT NEWS REOPORTERS. TED TURNER SHOULD BE PROUD, HE FINALLY HAS CREATED A STATION THAT IS BENT TOWARDS THE LEFT AND IS NOT NEWS BUT PROPOGANDA. THE STORY LINES OF MOST OF THE SHOWS ARE TRASH AND THEY ARE REPEATED AD NAUSEUM. THE ONLY LIGHT IN ALL THE DARKNESS OF THIS STATION IS WOLF BLITZER.

Subterfuge

Sabotage, espionage, subterfuge. These are the three non combative ways to fight or destroy the enemy. The first is rendering their armaments or control systems ineffective. The second is placing personnel in government, business, education, and the military in order to access information. The third is media manipulation- lies, half truths, slander, etc.. The infamous Joseph Goebbels of Nazi fame was one of Hitler's top three men. That was how importantly he viewed this. Today's media, thanks to the computer age, has perfected the art of lying beyond anything that Goebbels, Stalin, or anyone of those monsters from the past ever dreamed. And sadly today people are more susceptible to lies, or do not care about anything except if it affects their health care, or their government check.

I know that this article is about Israel, but media fraud is world wide and it is being done to vilinize a particular country, race, or creed. When we were in Argentina, there was fraudulent remarks about a satanic cult that sacrificed a famous person and they blamed the Evangelical Christians--a deadly statement that was completely deceptive. As we left Mexico we heard that there was a red alert during the USA Thanksgiving holiday, Mexico as a nation was very peaceful and a lovely place to visit in almost every area. So if you want to know the truth, ask someone who lives in the country that is being signaled. Make friends and reach out to others to find out the truth.

Well, if Hamas uses ineffective rockets, the more fools they.That's their hard luck. IF they do. Yes, I can well belive the soup kitchens etc; but that proves nothing. It doesn't negate the other things. i hadn't realised that the grandmother was the same one-how many grandchildren did she have and in how many places ? The photographer should have cut out the Hebrew writing that identifies the place where the 'Palestinian children' are running-or did they think that nobody would notice ?
I was most indignant when a report here in NZ showed some very nice & reasonable Palestinians who could not (???) understand why they were being targeted...and one Jew who was supposed to represent all Israelis. He was an extremist fundamentalist bigot and I would say possibly mad with it; it was like showing a member of the Klan in America as representing white Southern Americans. He was the only Jew interviewed.
If Hamas don't have effective weapons, why don't they buy some ? There'd be plenty of people willng to sell them some. If theirs are useless, why do they open fire with them in the first place ? If I knew that someone had a machine-gun, I wouldn't fire first with a pistol.

Disgusted with the anti-Israel media

This video demonstrates what is sadly true about western media when it comes to reporting about Israel: it is extremely biased against Israel. Some may say it is accidental, as the BBC claimed when I complained about the misrepresentation of the photo of the Syrian child claimed to be Palestinian, which is shown in this video, but it happens too often to be merely mistakes. And the tone and questioning of some of those journalists in the video is so obviously biased that there is no way to explain that away. Although I normally can't stand FOX News, they are the only ones who gave Israel a fair shake in their reporting during times of conflict and in general. Sad that they are the only ones, as their journalistic integrity is questionable otherwise. I plan to post this on my FB wall and encourage others to do likewise. I also send emails to news outlets whenever there is biased coverage. The worst I saw during this latest conflict was MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin, an apparent Arab American, who was blatantly pro-Palestinian in his reporting to the point where it was more like listening to Arab propaganda than it was a news report. Shameful

Preaching To The Choir

The problem is that showing all these videos to people like myself, while so true are just preachng to the choir. We all know that Hamas and the Arab propaganda works. But why does it work? Because the media wants it to work. The anit-Israel media such as CNN and CNBC take this stuff and run with it. Not so much Fox News, thank goodness. The question is, how can this be combatted. The good news is, that I think that this time Israeli PR improved. For the first time ever, CNN showed pictures of the leaflets that Israel sent down to residents of Gaza telling them to evacuate.This is a first, but their news reports still leave a lot lacking.
The most important thing to emphazise, which news outlets like CNN do not, is that "there is no moral equivalency in this war." This is a group of thugs who want to destroy Israel. How does Israel get this message across, if so many people agree with them? The answer, Israel should do what it has to do, and not bow under world pressure. Easier said than done, but as Meir Kahane said "It's better to have an Israel that the whole world hates, than an Auschwitz that the whole world loves."

The fraud in the media

I have been watching the news from Israel and the world. The wicked works that way. With lies, false accusations. All who trust in Hashem, blessed be He, should not be afraid. We must believe in His promise. What is happening, not only in Israel against Hashem's, blessed be He, children, but throughout the world, was written. And until all Yaacob's children unite in His love, and obey him, the scriptures will not be fulfilled. We need to gather together in prayer, with the love of the Spirit of the Almighty, Eternal, Creator of the Universe, believing and trusting in Him. He is our strength, our shield, and fortress. I understand that for the human kind, it is becoming increasingly difficult, because idolatry is impregnated in all of us after all these years of idol worshipping. But as promised by our Creator, when we call upon our Fortress, with all our heart and soul, and might, He will listen. And the liberation of the children of Abraham will, Issac, Yaacob, will come. That is my opinion.

Wake up people

I am so glad that you covered this. I posted it to my Facebook. I live in Illinois and most of my friends are Jewish. They actually believe this garbage than CNN and MSNBC put out. I simply don't get it. I am a Christian and I see a very anti Israel (as well as anti-Christian) sentiment in our media that is disturbing. My Jewish friends in this area (Chicagoland) with a few exceptions, do not see it.

been there-- done that!

When my son fought in lebanon in "82 with the IDF, these same faked photos of the same woman in black scream,ing (with different backgrounds) were shown in the press worldwide. Reuters eventually appologised for fraud. Same with French TV who was taken to court re faudulent articles. SHAME on these reporters.

Islamist Parties Rise To Power From Their Philanthropy

That is what we need to take into consideration, these Islamist parties do not rise to power because of their radical beliefs. They rise to power from their philanthropy. They showed Hamas running hospitals, clinic, schools, and soup kitchens. In doing so, they are performing one of the five Pillars of Islam -- zakat, the giving of two percent of one's wealth. The best way to take on Islam is not to fight it, but to understand it. I can see Hamas leaders having a vague knowledge of islamic history too.

Another great reporting job! Thanks!

Rav Shraga, you never cease to amaze me. The message is short, precise, and crystal clear. How do we get the world to stand up and take notice of the simple truth!?

History has too long tried to be written by liars ...

I believe the truth is often written right in our hearts if we have true thanksgiving in our hearts to see it! Sadly history repeats itself often enough from our foolishness without ... tryint to lie and fake it ... My prayer for this new year is if we can't stop it then I ask God to make it known as if it were always high noon even in the darkness of night when evil finds it's home.

world gone mad

The ululating ceaseless screeching cheering death welcoming mobs in palestine calling for jewish blood is so common place now that any chance of a "peace" is long gone long with any objectivity or real desire for anything other than death and martyrdom. Already hamas is calling this a temporary lull and describing the truce as a victory for hamas sending the frightened jews into bunkers.
Despite fake photos like this the world has made up its mind and is following its own long standing hatred of jews by supporting these out of control maniacs in palestine.
The world too gives not a damn for their wellbeing remaining insulated in their safe little anti semitic bubbles.
Israel is mistaken if they believe this truce will dull the blade of hatred so well honed now that nothing else matters.

Jews Have Always Faced Persecution

And, through it all, God has protected them. Today the lions are different, but the world is just as eveil as ever. Hamas, is a group of serpants set on destroying anything and anyone who is not in line with their way of thinking. They are terrorist to the Nation of Israel.
They have had their own people killed to achieve their agenda and do not care about innocent lives being lost or taken when retalliation from their attacks kills people who don't want anymore than to live in peace, love and raise their families and be confident that throughout there lands, peace will prevail.
It is sad when Israels greatest ally become a muslim supporting nation, while the president of the united states turns his back on the real enemy(his brothers) and uses the media to distort, warp, lie, demoralize and even fabricate the real truth.
I am with Israel, and will come over and fight side by side in order to bring an end to this attack on the Nation of Israel. You are not alone, even though everyone wants you to look like the bad guys, the truth can only be hidden for so long.
God has Blessed Israel and I back them 100% in their attemts to mow the grass, and limit the varmants attempting to destroy them and what they stand for...

Why is the media anti Israel? How is it possible that the media can so easily give merit and sympathy to known terrorist groups ie Hezbollah, Hamas; while denouncing Israel and dismissing the facts. Please help me to understand where this bias or hatred stems from. I am at a complete loss

oil and fear of arabs

1. oil
2. anyone who criticizes muslims or arabs in public is usually sent death threats, and in many cases targeted. they probably just want to stay on their good side.
3. arabs and/or muslims make it one of their missions to infiltrate the media and run it. they are very good at making propaganda to further their cause.

The image is more effective than the reality.

Most knew, not many cared. People hear what they want to hear while the media sources don't express the facts but, unfortunately, what they are paid or pressured to stay. The need for objective reporting is greater than it ever was in these times of peril. The computer is the best source of true reporting, especially if you seek organizations from both sides and listen carefully. Abraham Seiman

CNN Newscast

I saw the newscast provided by CNN that was shown on this site. I was very disappointed by the lack of professionalism and obvious bias of the confrontational female newscaster. Very distasteful, much to her discredit, and I wouldn't watch her again. CNN's ratings went way down in my estimation.

We can be comforted by prophet Ovadyah 1: 17 &18 . He says
"The House of Ya'akov will repossess theiir rightful inheritance.
The house of Ya'akov will be a flire and the house of Yosef a flame,setting aflame and consuming the stubble which is the house of Esav. None of the house of Esav will remain,for Hashem has spoken .Shabbat Shalom

What are we doing to counter this propaganda?

What are we doing to counter this propaganda? Are we flooding Gaza with the truth, that the Hamas is starting this conflict with daily rockets aimed at Israel?

Snakes

I'd call Hamas snakes, but that would be an insult to the snakes. G-d bless the IDF and the people of Israel.
